  • Great Relavent Content

    I really appreciate the variety of topics in each podcast. It really packs in the information in useable chunks. I also value the multiple perspectives as each perspective can be the best decision based on the context of your operation. Great job crew. I appreciate this!

  • One of the best

    Its straight down the line enjoyable listening, factual stuff. Listen weekly and will regularly relisten to podcasts. The guys have a good dynamic between them. The quality of content is high and guys do speak clearly, seems a strange thing to say but on some other cattle podcasts I sometimes struggle to clearly hear whats been said which you would think is rule number 1 on podcasts. These guys are clear.

    Thanks guys keep its up!

  • Finally!!

    Finally a cowboys podcast I can listen too. Informative and gets to the point. I hate those other podcasts where they just need out. This one speaks to the family trying to improve their own operation.

  • Needs audio production improvement

    Great content and knowledgeable hosts/guests but frequently seems like they are whispering. When I normally listen at 50% volume I need to turn it up to 90% to hear them. Will update review when I notice this improvement.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Managing Bred Heifers and Stretching Forage: Preparing for a Successful Calving Season
Q: Do I have to feed that every day?
Jason says nitrogen recycling can support less-frequent protein supplementation for maintenance, and comparable performance may be possible with every-other-day feeding. Animals that need meaningful weight or condition gain generally need more intensive feeding.
Managing Bred Heifers and Stretching Forage: Preparing for a Successful Calving Season
Q: What should I be looking for in those bred heifers? What do I want for body condition score?
Frank White recommends preparing heifers to calve at about body condition score six, with enough condition to support calving and rebreeding but without excessive fat that could affect milk production.
Building Better Cows: Smart Heifer Development from Day One
Q: Should I target my first calving at 24 months or 30 months?
The hosts and guest discuss that 24 months is possible with careful management of puberty, genetics, and nutrition, but in some breeds and environments 30 months may be more practical. The key is to assess breed maturation, tailor management, and consider the economic breakeven point, with a strong emphasis on planning and herd-specific strategies.
Understanding Neurologic Cases in Cattle: Diagnosis, Causes, and Prevention
Q: What is the trade-off between birth weight and weaning weight when selecting bulls for replacement heifers?
A balanced approach is recommended: use relatively low birth weight bulls to improve calving ease, but avoid extremes that drastically reduce weaning weight; ensure a sufficient heifer population to select a suitable bull for heifers without sacrificing future cow herd performance.
Summer Research and Herd Management: From Vitamin Stability to Confinement Strategies
Q: When should magnesium supplementation be stopped for grazing cows, especially on warm-season versus cool-season grasses, and how does calving timing influence this?
Supplementation should be tailored to forage type and cow physiology; warm-season grasses pose lower risk for grass tetany, while lactating cows or calves require more attention. Stop timing should be based on grass growth stage and calving schedule, and consult a nutritionist to ensure avoidance of deficiency during high-risk periods.
